Kanakapura : A bike rider was killed in a head-on collision between his two-wheeler and a KSRTC bus on the Sangama Road here on January 26, Sunday afternoon.

The deceased is Chethana Shivakumar (27), a resident of JP Nagara, Bangalore. It is learnt, he had come to the town for a picnic with friends on Sunday. He was working in HP Company. The mishap took place when he was on his way back home.

Shivakumar who had sustained grave injuries died in the hospital.

Meanwhile, local residents who point out that the number of accidents at the spot was on the rise have urged the authorities to initiate suitable remedial measures. The road is very narrow and has curves giving scope for accidents. The public have urged the authorities to put up speed breakers as well as warning sign boards.

It could be just my opinion. But I always feel that 2W riders don't realize the risk of rash and ridiculous driving. I had posted earlier too on this. With the high speed machines, they just zip across vehicles & may be consider other vehicles as if they are just stationary objects.

I will explain with a scenario which I witness regularly in highways. While waiting to overtake (waiting for side from ongoing vehicle & clear road in opposite direction), on many occasions I have seen bikes overtaking from left and getting between ongoing vehicle and mine. At speeds of 80+ margin of error is very very less. The bike guy is in danger in multiple angles:
1. If vehicle ahead of me slows down for some reason
2. There is pot hole in the road which ongoing vehicle might have skipped between the wheels - but biker hits or sees only in last minute and slows down
3. I don't see the bike coming from left and entering in between

The same case is much worse when they do this circus between 2 heavy vehicles since their visibility of 2W is much lesser. This is just one instance of absolute stupidity which many bikers do on highway. I think there should a separate lane for 2W (with divider) on highways.

Another common mistake 2W do is driving wrong way in highway to avoid few extra kms.

Don't want to be a crib here. But I just cant stand their stunts in the highway.

highlighted is the stretch that we were talking about in the past couple of days

I differ from your find.
The stretch is the NH209 Bangalore to Kanakpura Road where this accident happened (Chethan) .In the list the KP road is not listed (as if it is not part of Bangalore)
From Nice road this road is very smooth as well as curvy in many places.Every month at least 5 people are killed on this roads ,Car and Bike together.The road is single and narrow ,the usage had increased a lot in the past 5 years.

Again people want speed breakers .They don't want to widen/Straighten the road. .Is it the easy way?

I think the cab drivers are worst breed of creatures in Bangalore roads. They drive their cars as if they are always in short of time.

Once I spoke to 1 guy asking the reason, he said driving fast and changing less gear will give him more FE.

Just to share a news,

An office cab of mine (Tavera Neo2) met with a major accident near Arsikere, the owner cum driver was my friend and he is hurt. I haven't met him, but another driver told us this incident

Here's how it happened:

There were 5 people of them 4 were cab drivers and 1 was a manager in Coffee day. On a Saturday they had a party and were drunk, they took the tavera for Kemmanagundi and was rocking the car at 130kmph, while negotiating a curve near arsikere, the driver was unaware that he was at that speed didn't see a pot hole in the curve, he took his hands off the steering without knowing what to do, the tyre hit the pot hole very hard and in that impact the car toppled to the left side and fell upside down killing the front two people and 3 of the rear seat passengers injured. The car was considered total loss and my driver broke his arm.

He previously had a sumo which also met with an accident which after that he bought this tavera.

Sorry to hear about your friend and the loss of lives.

But a car and road is as safe as the driver and his intentions. Drunk driving, sppeding at 130 kmph at night time, well that is what many people do every day and are saved by luck / gods grace. But frankly it is a sign of accident just round the corner.

When will these people learn that "Drunken driving will straightly drive you to hell!"

Met with an accident on 26th Jan. We were at Gwalior, MP for a family function on 25th. After the function we decided to go to Datia. Datia is a small place which is 80 Kms from Gwalior. We booked a Chevrolet Tavera on 26th morning and the car reached hotel on time.
I was sitting on the front co-driver seat, Dad and mom in the middle row. Third row was empty and driver was driving.
When we started, i thought not to buckle up but after 2 mins i buckled my self up. (Usually i drive and sit with seat belts on highways).
After just 2.5 Kms from the hotel a cyclist in the extreme left lane tried to go right without any signal, even he didnt looked back. Our driver swerved right to save him and he came in opposite lane. A Tata 407 was coming from the opposite side. Tata 407 braked hard but couldnt avoid hitting us.
The truck hit us on the left side. we were dumbfounded for 2-3 seconds thinking what just happend.
I tried opening the door, but the door was jammed. Mom and dad came out of the car. I came out from the driver's side.
we all came out of the car. The truck driver fled away from the scene as soon as he hit the car.
Thankfully we all came out scratchless.
We called our relatives (who were localites), They arrived at the spot with a Bolero and dropped us back at the hotel.

Damages to Tavera-
Front left fender damaged. Bonnet scratched and dented, Front left Pillar, Windshield, Front ledt door, Left Head lamp Assembly, Front Bumper, Left side ORVM, Left side Indicator assembly. I couldnt see any damages to the engine bay as well as the front left suspension from outside.
The guy in the red jacket was our driver.
